'''Aesop''' was an Ethiopian slave in 600's B.C. [[Greece]].
He is counted as the author of self-titled [[Aesop's Fables]]- a collection of short stories each containing a simple moral message.
<blockquote>
The true Fable, if it
rise to its high requirements, ever aims at one great end and
purpose representation of human motive, and the improvement of
human conduct, and yet it so conceals its design under the
disguise of fictitious characters, by clothing with speech the
animals of the field, the birds of the air, the trees of the
wood, or the beasts of the forest, that the reader shall receive
advice without perceiving the presence of the adviser. [http://www.aesopfables.com/cgi/aesop1.cgi?1&Preface]
